Labour, meanwhile, has been making massive gains across the country and currently has 261 seats.

One of the seats it gained was Sheffield Hallam, which it took from former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg – who remains infamous among young voters for backtracking on his pledge not to raise tuition fees in 2011.

Early reports suggest that 72% of 18-24s voted. Some people are surprised. We are not. #GenerationVote

In the last four general elections – in 2001, 2005, 2010 and 2015 – youth turnout was only around 40%. In the last general election, just 43% of people aged 18 to 24 voted. Even in the EU referendum, only 64% of young people went to the polls.

But it wasn’t just young voters – this election saw a general turnout of 68%, the highest since Labour won a massive landslide under Tony Blair in 1997.
